It feels like quite a large company.
I had one interview. During the initial phone call, the HR contact made the opportunity sound fantastic. After the interview, I spoke with two managers, and the conversation was fairly ordinary, although the senior manager seemed satisfied. The next day, HR contacted me promptly, implying that everything was fine and began confirming the salary. After I provided the information, they also said there was no problem, and that the process would be confirmed once they returned from the long holiday.
Then the nightmare began. After waiting for more than a week, I was confused and emailed to ask about it. They suddenly said they were still continuing with the interviews, as if all the previous verbal assurances had been meaningless. They kept refusing to give me an answer, and eventually told me that they would notify me proactively once there was a result. After waiting a full month, I discovered that the job posting had been removed. I emailed again to ask, only to be told that they had already found someone. Is this really an acceptable way to handle things? Do they not consider the applicant's time to be valuable?
